Those that are dishwasher safe, anyway. The rest I'll leave for Monday night, and I'll clean out the fridge, do a bit of cleaning as far as the counters and floors go. The day of rearranging and housework went pretty well. I'm tired, but I've also had quite a bit of caffeine, so I'm not entirely sure I will sleep soon.
I also set up the mist lamp (it's an ionising humidifier with a light that glows and puts out cool stem) in my bedroom, with a little lavender oil in it, and that was relaxing. I went in there for awhile during the dishwasher's cycles.
Now I've had an evening snack and I'm going to take my long-acting insulin for the night. I'm going to check the news and then read for awhile and listen to some more Loreena McKennitt. I was originally going to try to catch up on some TV, but that's more relaxing. If I find something particularly blogworthy on the news, I'll post, but otherwise, good night.
Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.

Did you know that hydrogen can build up in hot water systems?
Which makes perfect sense if you think about it--I just never really have. I have a friend who has never had an electronic dishwasher anywhere he has ever lived, and he has had one recently put in. As with most gizmos, he's spent a day or two of staring at it before tackling the manual. According to his manual, hydrogen can build up in the system if it is unused for about two weeks. If it has been unused, they recommend running the taps for a few minutes. Not only is this a fascinating bit of trivia which will no doubt become indelible in my memory (for useless facts seem to be the only things that stick there), it's good for me to know because frankly, I don't use my taps much, and I don't produce very many dishes quickly enough to run the machine regularly.
Anyway, I was a bit amused, although it does sound like it could, in rare circumstances, be dangerous. And he did finally put a load in and turned it on. I'm interested to see how it goes, and I'm looking forward to seeing it for myself this weekend, as prior to it, I was one of two main dishwashers there. :)
